They must also have adequate undergraduate preparation (cumulative grade point average of B or better) in the basic sciences, including inorganic and organic chemistry (laboratory courses), one year each of physics, mathematics through calculus, biology, and other sciences or engineering. A student with one or two deficiencies in preparation may be recommended for provisional admission to the program, with the stipulation that they must correct the deficiencies early in their graduate work. Students will not receive graduate credit for this work.

Admission decisions are based upon all application materials. Successful Master's applicants generally have a GPA of 3.0 or better. For those with an advanced professional or doctoral degree, the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) can be waived by the department. A TOEFL exam is required for foreign nationals, with a minimum acceptable score of 600.
